Reader reviewed by mearley

What if your parents werent who you thought they were?  What if you
werent who you thought you were?  Those
are the questions Bethany
deals with as shes dropped off at the home of an aunt who shes never met
before and her parents wont tell her why. 
A few days later, a package arrives with $10,000 and four different
birth certificates for Bethany.  Meanwhile, everyone Bethany
meets seems to react as if theyre looking at a ghost, and Bethany knows
her aunt isnt telling her the whole story of her family.

 

Double Identity is
a very suspenseful book.  Margaret
Peterson Haddix lets the story unfold through Bethanys
eyes, so you figure out whats going on just as Bethany does. 
Any middle school student will enjoy this timely thriller.
